Analysis Paragraph:
The Providence School District performance is overall in a poor state. There are 21 schools in the districs that are identified for improvment ranging from 1 to 8 years. On top of that, there are no Regents Commended schools. 65% (30 schools) made insufficient yearly progress for improvment while only 16 schools (35%) made sufficient yearly progress in the school year 2007-2008. Each grade levels have their own positives and negatives for performence standards.
Elementry Schools in Providence ended up having 8 schools below comparison level for reading, writing, and math, which is around 31%. They seemed to do the best in math with 10 out of the 26 schools (38%) being above comparison group. The problem is that 10 out of 26 schools is much less than half of the elementry schools preforming above the average in math, while even less are in reading (6 schools, 23%) and writing (9 schools, 35%). Most of the Elementry Schools had met the comparison group in reading with 12 schools (46%), where as in writing 9 schools (35%) exceded the comparison group for the state.
The Middle Schools faired the best with no schools in the below comparison level range for any subject, although there are only 8 schools total which is less than the Elementry total. The results were pretty consistant with 6 out of the 8 schools (75%) at the comparison level for reading and math and 7 schools (88%) for writing. Above the comparison level only 2 out of the 8 schools (25%) reached this level in math and reading while only 1 school did so in writing (13%).
High Schools in Providence preformed mostly at the comparison level with a few schools towards either end of the spectrum. In math, there were no schools that preformed below comparison level. Math included the most school (12 out of the 15 schools, 80%) preforming the same as the comparison group. Math had the fewest schools above the average with only 3 out of the 15 (20%). Writing had the highest number of schools preforming above comparions level with 5 schools (34%), but had 3 schools (20%) below average and 7 schools (47%) at average. Reading had the most schools in the below comparison range 5 below comparison level (34%), 6 at comparison level (40%), and only 4 schools above comparison level (27%).
Overall, in math Elementry Schools had the highest percentage of schools (38%) above comparison level out of the 3 grade schools, they also scored highest in writing with 34% above comparison level in writing, only 1% higher than High Schools but still the highest out of the 3. Lastly in reading, surprisingly the High Schools had the highest percentage of schools above comparison level with 27% but also had the highest number of schools in the below comparison group level too. This data shows that the providence district had a lot of work to do to get these schools up to par with the state and to thrive with the best schools. The High Schools seem to me to need the most work, being such an imporatant time for learning and getting ready for college that the schools should all be at or above comparison group. It also seems that their is a paradox with the fact that a school system can have the highest percentage of schools doing above average while they still have an even larger amount below. This distric needs a lot of work to get the schools up to state levels, and it must start with the schools meeting the adequete yearly progress which so many did not.
